Stayed at Brackensyke a few times usually in October but decided to go in April and see it in the Spring, we had snow! Cottage was lovely,always warm never had to use wood burner. It is the perfect cottage to relax in, the garden is lovely and the views are beautiful. There is so much to see and do in the area, great walks starting from the cottage door. We keep thinking we should stay somewhere else for a change but Brackensyke is such a gem we just keep coming back.

We enjoyed staying in this little gem. The weather was kind to us and we had a good workout walking back up the hill after going to the village. The photographs of the views do not do them justice. We would definitely stay there again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Brackenskye cottage! Would recommend for any couple who is looking to get away from hustle and bustle and enjoy the countryside. This was our first visit to the Yorkshire Moors and loved it, daytrips to York and Whitby/the coast were easy. The cottage was perfect for us, it has a lovely inside fireplace, well equipped kitchen and is very cozy indeed! The view from the deck at the edge of the garden was worth the trip alone, plus we made some horse friends! Ambleforth was a quaint lovely village with good pubs, enjoyed playing darts at the swan, excellent and friendly staff! Only struggle was getting back up the hill after a few pints.. ;) thank you again for a lovely stay!!

Very cute cottage - would stay again! Nice pub (white horse) in short reach and Ampleforth Abbey. Nice log fire! Thanks again
